"Why should men have to pay for maternity care?" It's a question many people (mostly men) have posed over the past several months—never mind that women pay for things like prostate cancer and vasectomies in their insurance plans. As Republicans have worked to replace Obamacare with a different plan, lawmakers have toyed with the idea of throwing out certain Obamacare regulations—for example, the one that requires insurers to cover certain essential benefits (like mental health care, prescription medications, and—of course—maternity and newborn care).

The latest person to pose this question is Iowa Representative Rod Blum, who expressed some of the problems he has with Obamacare at a recent town hall. “[We should] get rid of some of these crazy regulations that Obamacare puts in—such as a 62-year-old male having to have pregnancy insurance," Blum said. Many members of the crowd booed in response.

Barbara Rank, a retired special education teacher, was in the audience at that town hall. But she didn't stand up to say anything, because according to the Washington Post, she "did not have a question to ask." It wasn't until the next day that Rank realized she had something to say to Blum, so she wrote down her thoughts and sent them to the local newspaper.

In 96 words, Blum perfectly summed up what's wrong with Blum's complaint: "Congressman Rod Blum in a Dubuque town hall (Monday) night asked, 'Why should a 62-year-old man have to pay for maternity care?' I ask, why should I pay for a bridge I don’t cross, a sidewalk I don’t walk on, a library book I don’t read? Why should I pay for a flower I won’t smell, a park I don’t visit, or art I can’t appreciate? Why should I pay the salaries of politicians I didn’t vote for, a tax cut that doesn’t affect me, or a loophole I can’t take advantage of? It’s called democracy, a civil society, the greater good. That’s what we pay for."
